Growing Sustainably and Responsibly
Our 17th annual Corporate Responsibility Report highlights our commitment to a sustainable future and culture that fosters thriving employees and communities, documenting our progress on priority issues for our stakeholders across environment, social and governance dimensions.
Scaling a Low Carbon Future
With nearly 500 corporate offices and more than 7 billion square feet of managed property globally, CBRE has a significant opportunity to decarbonize the built environment.
CBRE’s strategy to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2040 focuses on energy efficiency, renewable energy and electrification to help transition to a low carbon future.
Our environmental section outlines how we are reducing emissions across our corporate operations and driving impact across the built environment through sustainability solutions delivered to our clients around the world.
Sustainability is not only a growing priority but, increasingly, a basic expectation for investors and occupiers of real estate. We support our clients with proactive, end-to-end solutions that help them achieve their sustainability goals and protect and enhance value.
Creating Opportunities So All People Thrive
Social responsibility is grounded in our core values: RISE; Respect, Integrity, Service and Excellence.
Our report showcases key initiatives to attract, engage and develop top talent for our global workforce.
We work to foster a culture of diversity and inclusion and drive impact in our communities through philanthropy and supplier diversity initiatives. We prioritize health and safety in the workplace, employee wellbeing, respect for human rights and data privacy.
I’ve learned a lot at CBRE over the last nine years supporting the team. I enjoy taking on the challenges of working with a genetic condition and I feel empowered at CBRE that my contributions are valued, with growth and development opportunities. I love my job—my one big passion is being here every day with all my amazing work friends.
Leading with Integrity to Build Trust
Guided by our RISE values, we uphold the highest standards of ethics and integrity in everything we do to build trust in our business. Our robust corporate governance framework informs our company’s strategy and policies while delivering outstanding client outcomes, and our efforts to advance and embed ethical business practices across our company continue to be recognized in the industry.
The report outlines our governance, risk management activities, as well as our long-standing policies on ethics & compliance, respect and conduct in the workplace, anti-corruption measures, and transparent and accountable business practices.
Value is no longer exclusively based on financials. Sustainability is a strategic factor for clients, investors, financers, partners and employees. Stakeholders need transparency to understand opportunities and risks associated with ESG aspects and identify the real value and positive impact.
